I thought lightning didn't strike twice....


ODDS OF BECOMING A LIGHTNING VICTIM

* U.S. 2000 Census population - 280,000,000

* Odds of being struck by lightning in a given year (reported deaths + injuries) - 1/700,000

* Odds of being struck by lightning in a given year (estimated total deaths + injuries) - 1/400,000

* Odds of being struck in your lifetime (Est. 80 years) - 1/5000

* Odds you will be affected by someone being struck (Ten people affected for every one struck) - 1/500

* Odd of me winning the football pool twice in one season - 100% PRICELESS.
